Leave

I didn't want to leave
I swear to God
I was too young
to be alone
I was afraid
I was so lost
and you weren't there
to hold my bones

You didn't want me to leave
now I see it well
this is a sad story
that never ends
more tears to come
more errors to mend
more lies to reveal
more to understand.
